Slovenian passport holders can enter Peru visa-free for tourism or business stays up to 90 days. As of 2026, you just show up at any port of entry — usually Lima's Jorge Chávez Airport — and get a tourist entry stamp. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your arrival date.

Entry requirements

RequirementDetailsStatus
Valid passport
Must be valid for the duration of your stay
Your passport needs to be valid for at least the 90 days you plan to stay in Peru. Airlines at check-in may ask for 6 months validity — if yours is close, carry proof of onward travel to show them.Required
Return or onward ticket
Proof of departure from Peru
Immigration officers at Lima Airport routinely ask for a return or onward ticket before stamping you in. Have a printed or digital copy ready — a bus ticket to a neighboring country also works.Recommended
Proof of accommodation
Hotel booking or host invitation
Keep your first night's hotel confirmation or a letter from your host handy. Officers rarely ask, but if they do, a booking.com reservation on your phone is enough.Recommended
Proof of funds
Show you can support yourself
Carry a bank statement or credit card showing you have at least $500 USD available. I've never been asked for it, but a few travelers report being quizzed at Lima.Recommended
90-day stay is not extendable
You cannot extend your tourist stay beyond 90 days. If you want to stay longer, you must leave Peru and re-enter (e.g., a quick trip to Chile or Bolivia) to get a fresh stamp. Overstaying can lead to fines and entry bans.

What happens at the border

1
Arrive at immigration counter
At Lima's Jorge Chávez Airport (or any land border), join the 'Foreigners' queue. Have your passport and return ticket ready.
2
Present documents and receive stamp
Hand over your passport. The officer will check validity, ask your purpose of visit, and stamp you in. You'll get up to 90 days — confirm the number of days written in the stamp.
3
Collect luggage and exit
After immigration, collect your bags from the carousel and proceed through customs. Green/red light system — if you get green, walk straight out.

Frequently asked questions

No, the tourist entry is not extendable. You must leave before the 90 days are up. Overstaying can result in fines and a ban from re-entry.
You will be denied entry. Peru strictly enforces the 6-month validity rule. Renew your passport before traveling.
Not required for entry from Slovenia, but recommended if you plan to visit the Amazon region (e.g., Iquitos, Puerto Maldonado). Some jungle lodges may ask for proof.
Yes, the same visa-free rules apply at land borders. You'll still get a 90-day stamp. Common crossings include Desaguadero (Bolivia) and Tacna (Chile).
Report it immediately to the local police and contact the Slovenian embassy in Lima (or the nearest EU consulate). They can issue an emergency travel document. Keep a photocopy or digital scan of your passport separately.

Technically, the tourist stamp is for tourism and business meetings only. Remote work for a foreign employer is a grey area — many digital nomads do it without issues, but it's not officially permitted. For long-term stays, consider a proper visa.
